Using the Level-ACK Protocol
In level-ACK protocol, the NI 653
X
asserts the ACK signal when ready for
a transfer and holds the ACK signal level until an active-going edge occurs
on the REQ line. After the REQ edge occurs, the NI 653
X
deasserts the
ACK signal until the device is ready for another transfer.

Action Steps
Initial State
ACK is deasserted. The NI 653
X
waits for an active REQ to indicate that the
peripheral device is ready. The peripheral device may optionally drive the first
data at this time. The transfer cannot begin until the peripheral asserts REQ; the
peripheral may either pulse REQ or hold REQ high until the first ACK occurs.
If the peripheral pulses REQ, make sure to start the transfer on the NI 653
X
before the pulse occurs to avoid missing the pulse.
1
The NI 653
X
waits until it has space for data, then it asserts ACK.
2
The peripheral device can then strobe data into the NI 653
X
by first deasserting
then asserting the REQ signal. The NI 653
X
waits for an active-going transition
on the REQ line. ACK stays asserted, indicating the NI 653
X
is ready, until the
active-going REQ occurs.
3
The active-going REQ signal edge deasserts the ACK signal and causes the
NI 653
X
to latch input data.
4
To slow down the data transfer, you can insert a programmable delay before the
ACK signal is asserted.
